Built for the podium. Designed for your rank.
IBJJF-legal women’s ranked board shorts—available in every adult belt color and engineered for performance, coverage, and confidence on competition day.
Designed to meet International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation uniform requirements, these women’s ranked board shorts deliver a competition-ready fit and finish in every adult belt color—without sacrificing comfort or performance.
These premium lined grappling shorts feature a lightweight, high-performance outer shell paired with our signature built-in compression liner—providing secure coverage, breathable support, and a locked-in feel through every scramble, shot, and transition.
The high-waisted design and ultra-soft internal drawstring keep everything in place, while the streamlined construction minimizes bulk and distractions so you can stay focused on your match.
Engineered with moisture-wicking, four-way stretch fabrics and thoughtfully placed paneling for mobility and airflow, these shorts are built to perform under pressure—on the biggest stages and in your toughest training rounds.
Tested by athletes and refined through real competition experience, they deliver the fit, function, and confidence you need when it matters most.
Competition-ready. Rank-specific. Built to perform.
Available in all adult belt ranks and extended women’s sizing XXS–4X.
These beautiful women's ranked nogi shorts feature fully sublimated graphics designed exclusively for Gaidama. Inspired by the spirit of the fox — elusive, intelligent, and untamed — the Ranked Kitsune artwork reimagines one of Gaidama’s most iconic designs through the lens of rank and mastery. Each piece features the Kitsune mid-motion: sleek, graceful, and coiled with intent. Rendered in crisp lines, the artwork strikes a balance between myth and modernity — a nod to the ancient Japanese fox spirit known for cunning and transformation, now reborn in ranked hues that mark your own evolution on the mats. Gaidama's ranked women's grappling shorts are available in all adult BJJ belt rank colors: white, blue, purple, brown, and black.
NOTE: While the artwork on these shorts was designed in compliance with IBJJF nogi uniform guidelines, the inseam length may or may not pass inspection depending on your height. We suggest that taller women who plan to compete at an IBJJF tournament bring a backup pair of either longer women's board shorts (such as our black 6.5" inseam board shorts) or our black 6.25" compression shorts which also offer a longer inseam length. Our women's black spats are also always a guaranteed pass at IBJJF uniform inspection. Gaidama does not take responsibility for the discretion of the IBJJF or any other organization regarding uniform compliance.

IBJJF Compliance
Construction, fit, and printing all designed in compliance with IBJJF's latest nogi uniform rules for women. However, taller women may not pass IBJJF nogi uniform inspection in these shorts due to the mid-thigh length requirement. For women with long legs, we recommend our 6.5" black board shorts, 6.25" black compression shorts, or black spats for IBJJF compliance.
